Rating: Summary: Disgusting... But Cute!!! Review: TROMA fans unite!! Toxie 4 has arrived. Just when you thought Kauffman and TROMA couldn't possibly top themselves with offensive, yet hysterical, material... they prove you wrong. This is probably the MOST offensive TROMA film yet... but it's also the most "laugh-out-loud" offering from this risk-taking independent studio. It's all here... killing "special" children, lynching black men, homosexual and lesbian sex, Nazis, extreme gore, and even God (played by Hank The Angry Dwarf from The Howard Stern Show). But that's only a minor sampling of the outrageous content Toxie gets himself involved with in this (mis)adventure. Throw in other great characters from previous TROMA hits (such as Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD) and you have a perfect indie studio signature piece. This 2-disc set is also LOADED with extras (out-takes, deleted scenes, interviews, auditions, and more)! The "making of" documentary is worth the price of the disc, itself! If you love TROMA or if you're not afraid to laugh at extremely politically incorrect humor, this is a "must have" for your collection!
Rating: Summary: Like the film says, THIS IS THE REAL SEQUAL!!!! Review: WOW! This movie has it all! And unlike my last review for the totally RETARDED movie Unspeakable, this is by far Troma's best film and DVD release EVER!!!! There are also so many extra's on this DVD I dare you to try and go through them all in one sitting. IMPOSSIBLE! No matter what the price, buy this DVD! The film is side-splittingly funny. The extras are so extensive it'll make you vomit. So what are you waiting for? BUY THE DAMN MOVIE!!! HA HA!!!
Rating: Summary: Destined for B-movie greatness Review: You've got to love Troma. No other studio has so elevated trash to an art form (not intentionally, at least). Taking cues from the likes of Roger Corman and John Waters, director Lloyd Kaufman truly knows how to make great bad movies. Making his films truly as exploitative, offensive and trashy as possible, Kaufman does a better job at making bad movies than most directors do at making good ones. With Citizen Toxie, Lloyd Kaufman has nearly topped what I previously thought to be the epitome of trashy B-movies, Terror Firmer. Terror Firmer probably still stands as the ultimate Troma movie, but Citizen Toxie is not far behind. Among of the objects of spoofery this time around is Orson Welles' masterpiece Citizen Kane. Does that mean that Kaufman is trying to make the Citizen Kane of B-movies with Citizen Toxie? Possibly, and he just may have done it. I've seen a lot of cheesy, awful exploitation flicks, but few of them were as enjoyable or as hilarious as Citizen Toxie. There's everything that makes B-movies great here: over-the-top gore, gratuitous sex and nudity, crude and vulgar humor, bad acting and cameos by bottom-drawer celebrities (Lemmy Kilmister, Corey Feldman, Ron Jeremy, Julie Strain, Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf). Dare I say that Citizen Toxie may even be better than the original. Even if you haven't seen the classic 1985 movie, it will still be enjoyable. The original movie is also summarized at the beginning to bring you up to speed. As usual, Troma has put together an excellent DVD package. It has deleted scenes, outtakes, interviews, a feature-length documentary and all kinds of fun stuff. Well worth the low price for hours of disgusting entertainment. Citizen Toxie is highly recommended for fans of the genre and anyone who can sit through a Troma movie and enjoy themselves.
